The DM candidate is a real scalar filed. Two key distinguishing features of the model are the following: (i) in contrast with the conventional WIMP dark matter scenarios where thermal freeze-out is responsible for the observed relic density, our model uses non-thermal production of dark matter after reheating of the universe caused by moduli decay at temperatures below the QCD phase transition, a feature which alleviates the relic over-abundance problem caused by small annihilation cross section of light DM particles; (ii) baryogenesis occurs also at similar low temperatures from the decay of TeV scale mediator particles arising from moduli decay. A possible test of this model is the existence of colored particles with TeV masses accessible at the LHC.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-01T20:33:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Jv", "11.30.Fs", "95.35.+d" ], "keywords": [ "supersymmetric model", "cdms result", "baryogenesis", "scale mediator particles arising", "conventional wimp dark matter scenarios" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.051302", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2013, "month": "Aug", "volume": 111, "number": 5, "pages": "051302" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1231743, "adsabs": "2013PhRvL.111e1302A" } } }
